 Vanguard Camera Case April 6, 2010
Raymond House (Escondido, CA)
This is an excellent case. Not sealed against the elements, but still protective for my gear. It is a small case, although I was able to fit my Nikon D80 with lens attached, two other lenses, my flash and a few other small articles. The case is well built and the foam was easy to work with. Well worth the money.
Camera Case Review February 14, 2010
Angela Latimer (Allen TX)
I bought this for my partner for her camera and new lens. She loves it. It protects everything well and it fits under the airplane seat when she travels. I love that you can arrange the partitions to fit your own storage needs.
 Could have been better. February 12, 2010

Item arrived at last minute, and damaged. Have yet to have it resolved. Have bought another one elsewhere.
Have piece of mind with Vanguard Case April 30, 2009
J. Cho (Chicago, IL)
I originally wanted a Pelican case, because that's what everyone recommends, but after looking at some of them, they really didn't fit my needs. They were big and bulky looking, WAY TOO heavy duty, and most importantly, they were expensive and cost too much for what I wanted.
This case looks beautiful and protects your equipment adequately.
Not only does the case look good, but it's sturdy and built very well.
I didn't need something that could protect my equipment from a head on collision with a train, so this stylish Vanguard at a reasonable price was exactly what I was looking for! What I was looking for, was a hard case that would protect my DSLR equipment from bumps & dings moving from my home to the trunk of my car, as well as guard from dust.
Included in the package is the hard case, a 1/2"~ thick extra dark gray Styrofoam base for added protection, 6"~ thick customizable foam the size of the base, two foot long dividers, two 6" dividers, a 8" divider, an optional clip-on shoulder strap, and two sets of keys. The dividers are made of plastic and have a rubbery material covering it with slits to fit the other dividers for maximum customization.
Right out of the box, I was stunned by the quality of the case. It looked VERY good. My father took a look at the case and thought I paid at least $200 for it! I told him it was less than 1/4 of what he thought, and he couldn't believe it!
It's light, not too big or bulky, and I like how the handle has the black matte grip. Not only does it look good, but it feels good and doesn't slip in my hand when I carry it fully loaded.
I took a picture of my setup and uploaded it in the product picture slides. If you take a look at that photo, my equipment includes:
Canon EOS 40D
Sigma 50mm 1.4
Tamron 17-50mm 2.8
Canon 70-200 F4L
Canon Speedlite 430EX
and some other small accessories
They all fit comfortably and don't move around in the case thanks to tons of foam padding inside the case.
If you have more equipment than this, I'd suggest you get a larger case.
Some things that I would say that I'm not satisfied with is the buckle and latching system. That's the only part that feels a bit cheap and the design allows the top cover to jiggle around when it's dropped down. Not a problem though because once you clamp it down, the case is tightly secured.
Also, this case comes with keys, but they are pretty much useless because I bet I could bust the case open with a simple pair of pliers.
The 'rubbery' finish on the exterior is not really rubber, but some type of thin plastic brittle substance. I doubt that it adds to any shock absorption. Again, not to worry about if you're relatively careful, as you should be with your equipment because there's ample foam padding inside the case.
Bottom line, this Vanguard gives you exactly what you need for exactly how much you want to pay to protect your equipment.
If you want a stylish looking, affordable hard case that could fit 3-4 lenses with your camera body and a flash, this may be the case for you!
A real bargain! October 28, 2008
James W. Brandt (Arkansas)
Very nice case, especially for the price. It holds my Nikon DSLR, 2 zoom lenses, separate bounce flash unit and chargers. If you have more equipment than this, go up to the next size. Truly a bargain!
